Westbrook is well on his way to a seventh straight triple-double, with 10-7-7 at half against the Rockets. He rediscovered one of the Thunder's best offensive weapons from last season, pick-and-roll lobs with Steven Adams, who has 17 and 9 rebounds.

Mark Cuban says Russell Westbrook is "definitely putting up superstar numbers," but Westbrook still hasn't met Cuban's standard for a superstar. That's carrying a team to 50 wins and playoff success.
